Note 1 – The Business | Note 1 – The Business Red Cat Holdings (“Red Cat” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated in February 1984. Since April 2016, the Company’s primary business has been to provide products, services, and solutions to the drone industry which it presently does through its four wholly owned subsidiaries. Beginning in January 2020, the Company expanded the scope of its drone products and services through four acquisitions, including:
| A. | In January 2020, the Company acquired Rotor Riot, a provider of First Person View (FPV) drones and equipment, primarily to consumers. The purchase price was $1,995,114.
| B. | In November 2020, the Company acquired Fat Shark Holdings, a provider of FPV video goggles to the drone industry. The purchase price was $8,354,076.
| C. | In May 2021, the Company acquired Skypersonic which provides hardware and software solutions that enable drones to complete inspection services in locations where GPS is either denied or not available, yet still record and transmit data even while being operated from thousands of miles away. The purchase price was $2,791,012.
| D. | In August 2021, the Company acquired Teal Drones, a leader in commercial and government UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) technology. The purchase price was $10,011,279.
Following the Teal acquisition in August 2021, we concentrate on integrating and organizing these businesses. Effective May 1, 2022, we established the Enterprise and Consumer segments to focus on the unique opportunities in each sector. Enterprise's initial strategy was to provide UAV's to commercial enterprises, and the military, to navigate dangerous military environments and confined industrial and commercial interior spaces. Subsequently, Enterprise narrowed its near-term attention on the military and other government agencies. Skypersonic's technology has been redirected to military applications and its operations consolidated into Teal. The Consumer segment, which includes Fat Shark and Rotor Riot, caters to hobbyists, drone racers, and enthusiasts. The reportable segments were established based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which is a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), manages our business, makes resource allocation and operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. See “Note 21 - Segment Reporting”. In November 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell our Consumer segment to Unusual Machines, Inc. (or “Unusual Machines” or “UM”). The unadjusted sale price is $20 million, including $3 million in cash, at closing, and $17 million in securities of Unusual Machines plus a post-closing adjustment for excess working capital. The agreement reflects the Company's decision to focus its efforts and capital and defense where it believes that there are more opportunities to create long term shareholder value. The closing of the transaction is contingent upon Unusual Machines completing (i) an initial public offering that raises sufficient capital to close the transaction, and (ii) a listing on a public stock exchange such as the NYSE or Nasdaq.
